Decree of the Archdiocese of Manila regarding the Missal of 1962
This has just been posted on the website of the Archdiocese of Manila. I am reposting it here for informational purposes, with the most noteworthy portions highlighted. Due to the sensitivity of the situation in Manila, I am closing the combox for this post. CAP.

ARCHDIOCESAN GUIDELINES ON THE CELEBRATION OF THE MASS ACCORDING TO THE RITE OF THE ROMAN MISSAL PUBLISHED IN 1962 (TRIDENTINE MASS)
In accordance with the norms laid down by the Apostolic Letter, issued motu propio, of His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum, We hereby establish the following guidelines and conditions on the celebration of the Mass according to the rite of the Roman Missal published in 1962 (Tridentine Mass) in the Archdiocese of Manila:

The regulation of the celebration of this extraordinary form of the Mass belongs to the Archbishop of Manila, through the Minister of the Ministry for Liturgical Affairs of the Archdiocese of Manila.

This form of Mass is to be celebrated only at the Christ the King Chapel of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Manila once a month, but not on Sundays and Solemnities.

The presider at this form of celebration should be a priest duly appointed by the Archbishop of Manila.

To ensure the solemnity and orderliness of the celebration of this form of Mass, the participation of other ministers (i.e., lectors, Master of Ceremonies, servers, choir, etc.) in the liturgy is to be determined and regulated by the Ministry for Liturgical Affairs of the Archdiocese of Manila.

The celebration of the extraordinary form of the Mass in this Chapel is open to any individual or group in the Archdiocese of Manila who may have the desire to participate in such celebrations.
Further requests from individuals or groups from the parishes of or who belong to the Archdiocese of Manila to celebrate this form of Mass is to be directed to join the monthly celebration at the Manila Cathedral.

It is highly encouraged that a missal / booklet of the rite in Latin and English be prepared to help the faithful follow the celebration. It is like wise encouraged that those who will participate in this Mass undergo a catechetical orientation before the celebration.

The Archbishop of Manila has jurisdiction over this celebration and, therefore, can decide to limit or discontinue this monthly celebration anytime he judges that this is not consonance with the whole pastoral direction of the Local Church.

Given in Manila, this 8th day of December 2008.

No, Pope Benedict XVI’s moto proprio allowed the Tridentine Mass to be said in any parish where there was a stable group of people.

Art. 5. § 1 In parishes, where there is a stable group of faithful who adhere to the earlier liturgical tradition, the pastor should willingly accept their requests to celebrate the Mass according to the rite of the Roman Missal published in 1962, and ensure that the welfare of these faithful harmonises with the ordinary pastoral care of the parish, under the guidance of the bishop in accordance with canon 392, avoiding discord and favouring the unity of the whole Church.

§ 2 Celebration in accordance with the Missal of Bl. John XXIII may take place on working days; while on Sundays and feast days one such celebration may also be held.

§ 3 For faithful and priests who request it, the pastor should also allow celebrations in this extraordinary form for special circumstances such as marriages, funerals or occasional celebrations, e.g. pilgrimages.

Art. 7. If a group of lay faithful, as mentioned in art. 5 õ 1, has not obtained satisfaction to their requests from the pastor, they should inform the diocesan bishop. The bishop is strongly requested to satisfy their wishes. If he cannot arrange for such celebration to take place, the matter should be referred to the Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei”.

Frankly, I’m a little surprised that this is happening in the Philippines, one of the strongholds of the faith.

What do you think Rome will do? Now, let 's not say what they *should *or must do according to its own documents and moto proprios, but what will it, in fact, in reality do, if anything?

it’ll probably be a long time before Rome takes care of it. In Rome there is two speeds, very slow and full stop. There is limited manpower available and considering that the Archdiocese of Milan isn’t the only place with liturgical and ecclesiatical issues, it will be awhile before it is settled. Of course, there is a chance that this position will resolve itself as the Archbishop is near retirement age and well we have seen recently the kind of appointments B16 have been making.

Isn’t it interesting how denying the Holocaust gets **immediate, swift, and unambiguous **action from Rome, yet denying the Truths of the Faith, and desacralizing the Liturgy, gets, well can we say, very, very, very slow (if at all) action.

Its easier to make a public statement disavowing something than to go in and reform an archdiocese, though.

Maybe have the bishop pay a visit to Bishop Williamson.
